We believe in fostering positive, creative change. We believe in supporting causes dedicated to improving the quality of Jewish life worldwide. We believe in the power of our core areas of giving: education, women’s issues, Israel, Holocaust awareness, and our self-generated initiatives. We are in the business of seeking out and supporting potential, because we believe that good ideas, when well-executed, make the planet a better place.

Education

Jewish education is the key to our future, and we are deeply committed to furthering causes related to schooling for children, encouraging lifelong learning, and supporting academic research.

Women's Issues

For women this is an exciting time of growth and change. Today, women are increasingly questioning the status quo, assuming leadership roles, and making critical contributions.

Israel

Causes related to Israel are of core concern, from promoting understanding to encouraging peace to countering delegitimization.

Holocaust Awareness

Support of projects related to Holocaust awareness, education, and combatting denial
is critically important.
